> One thing that I have confirmed is while the abstract and intro talk about evaluating "code generation" as if GPT-4 code generation is getting worse, In is 3.3/Figure 4 it says they judge correctness only if it's passing raw code: "We call it directly executable if the online judge accepts the answer" not whether the code snippet is actually correct (!). The latest model outputs code as triple ticked in Markdown: "In June, however, they added extra triple quotes before and after the code snippet, rendering the code not executable." I mean, this is important if you're passing code directly into an API I suppose, but I don't think this should be properly extracted to judge code generation capability. OK yeah I mean that's kind of critical information, wtf. I've upvoted this because it needs to be the top post. That's massively important - obviously you could go from ~100% to ~0% if your judge can't handle formatting changes.
